| * ebel wonders how to debug problems where his mouse pointer will just stop appearing on one monitor | 11:00 | |
| tdr112 | you could write some thing that outputs the x/y of where the mouse is | 11:14 |
|---|---|---|
| ebel | i want the mouse pointer to appear | 11:27 |
| airurando | ebel: you about? | 20:17 |
| ebel | yo | 20:17 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 20:18 |
| czajkowski | airurando: get your wiki done | 20:18 |
| airurando | ebel, now that the website is back I was wondering if we can effect the LoCo dir blog feed from within the website. | 20:19 |
| airurando | my rudimentary understanding of the aggregrator isn't sufficient. | 20:20 |
| airurando | there is something about categories but I have no idea | 20:20 |
| czajkowski | right so in theory a categroy for loconews should be created | 20:21 |
| czajkowski | so stuff about our geeknics would be displayed | 20:21 |
| airurando | czajkowski: I know I'll get to it aoon | 20:21 |
| czajkowski | but stuff on say me driving around ireland wouldnt be | 20:21 |
| airurando | *soon | 20:21 |
| airurando | yeah, I saw how categories could be generated but I have no idea how it works | 20:22 |
| airurando | category for LoCo news? | 20:22 |
| ebel | it's all about RSS Feeds | 20:23 |
| airurando | how do blogs from the planet feed LoCo tagged material into the aggregrator LoCo News category? | 20:23 |
| ebel | We could either just have one RSS feed from our website, or try to combine some rss feeds from various members blogs into one feed | 20:23 |
| airurando | how do we generate a RSS feed for the category LoCo News | 20:23 |
| airurando | ebel | 20:24 |
| airurando | the aggregrator takes all the feeds supplied | 20:24 |
| airurando | those feeds are not LoCo specific | 20:24 |
| airurando | you explained to me how each blog can provide a specific LoCo related feed | 20:25 |
| airurando | I just can't see how these sunset feeds can be handled by the aggregrator | 20:26 |
| airurando | *subset | 20:26 |
| airurando | ebel if possible I like the idea of trying to combine some rss feeds from various members blogs into oneLoCo News feed | 20:27 |
| airurando | each blog generate a LoCo category and supply the feed for that. | 20:28 |
| ebel | you'd need another aggregator | 20:34 |
| ebel | and you'd need everyone's blog to generate a separate rss feed per tag | 20:35 |
| ebel | I'd be suprised if a lot of blogs didn't have this functionality | 20:35 |
| ebel | e.g. here's the feed URL for czajkowski's "Ubuntu-ie" tag: http://www.lczajkowski.com/category/ubuntu/ubuntu-ie-ubuntu/feed/ | 20:36 |
| ebel | So every blog author will pick their tag that's meaninglyful and we'd use that in the new aggregator | 20:36 |
| ebel | that'll then aggregate those feeds into 1 ubuntu-ie feed | 20:37 |
| airurando | Yeah, I get that part (I Think :)) | 20:37 |
| airurando | I was just wondering whether or no we could do if from within the current drupal website | 20:37 |
| ebel | maybe | 20:38 |
| ebel | if you can create an extra aggregator, then maybe you can | 20:38 |
| ebel | ** if you can create an extra aggregator, then you can. | 20:38 |
| airurando | I just don't see how that can be done | 20:38 |
| airurando | any ideas for an external, open souce, security sensitive, reliable alternative? | 20:39 |
| ebel | not really... | 20:42 |
| airurando | ok | 20:43 |
| airurando | other alternatives | 20:43 |
| airurando | anyone with experience of yahoo pipes? | 20:43 |
| airurando | yahoo pipes ticks the reliable box. | 20:44 |
| ebel | no experience... | 20:46 |
| airurando | agenda item for the September meeting methinks. | 20:47 |
